Animal children are counted as dwarf children?
« on: July 01, 2008, 06:07:38 pm »

I searched through the reported bugs and didn't see this one posted, so if it's there, I apologize.  In my current fort I have several married dwarves, as well as a male-female pair of both gorillas and bonobos.  Since the gorillas and bonobos started having offspring, my married dwarves have stopped producing children, and killing the animals off solved the problem.  I think the baby/child cap is counting the offspring of humanoids (ie. gorillas and bonobos, possibly other monkey/ape types) towards the cap.  If this is the case, I'm pretty sure it's a bug.  Perhaps an easy fix might be naming the animal offspring something different?  Like, baby gorilla, or young gorilla, or something along those lines?  Anyway, thought I'd mention it.  :)

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur

It's only checking the dwarves when it looks at the baby cap, though there was a bug with the baby cap in general, I think, if you set it to zero at least (which probably doesn't apply here).  Not sure what's going on.
